Walmart plays Host to public Baby Showers every September!

Did you know that your local Walmart may play host to a public baby shower every year?

Yesterday, I needed to get out of the house to walk around a little and escape the mayhem of my house! I had no plan, so I pulled into Walmart (in Sugar Land at HWY 6 and 90) and decided to treat myself to some new pillows!

As soon as I waddled my way back to the pillow section and found the two pillows I wanted, I heard this over the loud speaker:

If you are an expectant mom or dad, please join us in the next few minutes for our store-wide baby shower! There will be prizes.

Prizes? I’m in! I had nothing to do, so I waddled my way back to the baby section, thinking I could look for some stuff for my son in the boys section if it wasn’t something I was interested in!

When I got back there, there were already four moms and two dads sitting back there. There was a table with a BUNCH of baby stuff sitting on it and there was a table with fruits, veggies, sandwiches and a HUGE cake!

Of course, I was the only one that already had kiddos, and all of the new moms there were a bit shocked when I said I was due with baby number four….. any day now!

We played the cutest shower games that actually won us prizes! They gave away Walmart gift cards to the winners! (I won $10!)

The BIG prize (that I missed by one point!) was the entire table full of baby products!! I was actually ok with not winning it, because it was a lot of typical first mom stuff that I’ve learned that I really don’t need, but I was happy to see one of the first time moms win!

Apparently, September is Baby month at Walmart, and they have already had a cutest baby contest and a baby crawl race.

Contact your local Walmart to find out when their baby shower will be! Ours wasn’t well advertised (nothing but a poster in the entry), so I am hoping that by reading this, you’ll catch yours in time!
